I still cannot believe this is real!

I am so exhausted and sleep deprived, but this is literally over 20 years of being a pastry chef and all the hard work is being finally validated. Right now, I am sitting in first place going into competition for the top pastry chef in the world! Now I just have to maintain it tomorrow........ And these chefs I'm up against are the 6 best chefs in the World as well, including one who currently holds the 2025 world title.

I can and will do hard things πŸ’œπŸ‘‘πŸ’œ

REPORTING FROM THE CULINARY COMBINE! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³β±οΈ

Riley just decided to throw down and competed in the culinary combine competition!

The Culinary Combine at the 2026 World Food Championships challenges participants across 10 stages that test your culinary skill, precision, and speed- think a culinary obstacle course! Here is what he had to do-

πŸ”ͺ Spatchcock a chicken
πŸ₯‘ Master avocado fabrication
🍳 Make a perfect French omelette
πŸ₯© Trim/clean spare ribs like a pro
πŸ§… Peel and dice an onion
🟠 Peel and segment orange suprems
πŸ… Peel, remove seeds,& dice a tomato
πŸ₯¬ Clean and prepare a artichoke
🐟 Fillet and debone whole salmon
πŸ«‘ Core,slice,& dice a bell pepper

Riley currently has the fastest time 3 of the 10 challenges and is in 3rd place!

I cannot say what I'm making, but I CAN give a massive shout out to my INGREDIENT SPONSORS!

Keeping it local goes more than saying the words. I wanted to use this opportunity to showcase not only what I do, but the amazing small businesses that give me the ability to have amazing ingredients to work with. Just like an artist, I cannot paint an amazing piece if I don't have paint!

From an over 100 year old orchard, to a buisness who had connections to other businesses in Indiana Grown and helped me make phones calls and resources- these people are the backbone to what makes my dishes just so incredibly special πŸ’œ AND EVERYTHING IS FROM INDIANA AND A SMALL BUSINESS- HUZZAH!

- Hainlen Orchard (Converse, IN)
- Ervin Township Meats (Kokomo, IN)
- Half Moon Restaurant and Brewery (Kokomo, IN)
- Rockn B Ranch at The Ponderosa (Indianapolis, IN)
- Popcorn Cafe (Kokomo, IN)

And the TWO businesses that I honestly would not have even have made it to the World Food Championships without-

- A Couple Kids Family Farm (Kokomo, IN)
- Moon Drops Distillery (Fortville, IN)

I will post exactly how these buisnesses were used once I can, but for now I want to make sure they know how much they are truly appreciated πŸ’œ We all be small, but together we can and will do amazing things!

Bonus picture of life as a lil guy trying to support everything World Food Championships- It's hard work and no..... He absolutely was NOT sleeping or even tired 🀣

Oh my goodness, these shirts are incredible!

Huge shout-out to Moon Drops Distillery for having these made for our team πŸ’œ Xander (my oldest squire) is the one who drew my logo at the very start of Baked Knightly, so to see his art on a shirt is just so very special to me πŸ’œπŸ‘‘πŸ’œ

I'm speechless...... thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

IT'S TIME...... Trading the Ren faire garb for the chefs jacket this morning cause it's go time!

No matter what happens this week, I've already won πŸ’œ To enter kitchen arena with your squire who is in his final year of highschool is surreal. I thought he would one day outgrow wanting to hang out with his mom in the kitchen, instead we are competing for a world title- together πŸ’œπŸ‘‘πŸ’œ

For my other two squires, this time of year was the "growing pains" of their final marching band season. For Riley, I am so excited to see where this experience takes him. Yes, there hasU been tears shed with those feelings, but I am just so darn proud of where all three of my little guys are and now they are becoming amazing young men.

I also made the decision to offer an invite to the culinary student who I had from Jamaica to be a part of . So, this means my team is literally the future of the culinary industry and I am getting to show these kids what can come from running on pure grit.

I've cooked all over the world, and now it's time for me to show up in Indy and show everyone that just because I live in the middle of cornfields and nowhere doesn't mean I'm not a badass chef. I am just on a different quest of what being a chef means to me- the Queens mission is clear! To give thy people back their bread! Huzzah!

Be honest, be humble, and always be the hardest worker in the room- I can and will do hard things πŸ‘‘

Got to love when the ENTIRE family NEEDS to be a part of tasting your dishes for final touches πŸˆβ€β¬›

Princess Brie has incredibly sophisticated tastes, so I guess if she deemed my biscuits and jampanionship dish worthy of her approval- it MUST be a winning dish 🀣

(Note- I called the family to the table to sample the dish and she came and sat on the open chair since one of the squires were at work. She proceeded to wait for HER plate and when it did not come- she made sure to let us know she was unhappy and then patiently waited till I have her a nibble to try...... Cats, they sure are their own special thing 😜 Also, the animals are not allowed at the table, so hence why this was just funny to watch go down)
